At dawn, Li Shimin drove the carriage to the small town outside the carriage, found an inn to rest for a morning, and after lunch, the three of them set off again, the poor girl's home was in another small county near the town, and when she was sent to the county seat, Richard and Li Shimin were surprised to find that she was actually the daughter of the county magistrate.

The poor girl's home is located in the center of the county, not far from the county office, the mansion looks very magnificent, the poor girl just jumped out of the carriage, the two family members standing at the door saw her, their faces were overjoyed, and a family member immediately greeted her, "Miss, you can count it back, the old lady has been dying in a hurry for the past two days." ”

The other ran into the door, and said loudly as he ran: "Miss is back!" Miss is back! ”

Richard and Li Shimin stood beside the carriage, looking at the magnificent mansion Richard smiled dumbly, "I thought she should be the daughter of a wealthy businessman, but I didn't expect it to be after the county order." No wonder everyone is willing to be an official, which is more profitable than doing business. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Richard, and knew in his heart that he was satirizing the darkness of the current Sui Dynasty officialdom, how could she not know this, now the Sui Dynasty from the top to the court to the local officials can be said to be ten officials and nine greedy, but this freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and she has no choice but to refute it, so she has to pretend that she didn't hear it.

The poor girl turned her head at this time and said seriously: "Brother Ximen, Brother Li, my father is not the kind of person you think. My father was an official who did business first and then made an official, and these houses were built before he became an official. ”

Not long after, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman walked out, and when she saw a middle-aged woman screaming, my son walked up quickly with red eyes, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

After a while, the poor girl wiped her tears while saying something to her father, and after a while, the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Richard and Li Shimin, walked in front of them, bent down and said sincerely: "Thank you two young heroes for escorting the little girl back safely, great kindness, toothless and unforgettable." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's okay, since the girl has arrived home safely, it's time for us to leave." ”

The poor girl was anxious at this time, "Brother Li, my father hasn't thanked you yet, how can you leave like this?" ”

The middle-aged man also came back to his senses at this time, patted his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes, Laifu, you go to the account room to get five hundred taels of silver, and use it as a plate for the two young heroes on the road." ”

"No, we have silver." Li Shimin waved his hand again and again, smiling bitterly and was about to refuse. Five hundred taels of silver is a lot for the average ranger, but it is nothing to her and Richard, and now the wine in the gourd pinned to Richard's waist is worth more than five hundred taels of silver.

Ximengua interrupted Li Shimin's words and said with a smile: "Since this uncle is kind, then we might as well be respectful." ”

The middle-aged man next to the family ran towards the house, but the poor girl was faster than him, and ran into the house, not long after, she changed her clothes and walked out with a food box, Jiao Didi walked in front of Li Shimin, handed the food box to Li Shimin and said: "Brother Li, you take these foods with you on the road to eat." By the way, this is a silver ticket. ”

As she spoke, she took out a silver ticket and handed it to Li Shimin, not five hundred taels but one thousand taels, Li Shimin raised his head in surprise and glanced at the poor girl, who quickly gave her a look, Li Shimin was silent, and silently accepted the food box and silver ticket.

The two got into the carriage and left, until the carriage disappeared around the corner of the street, and the poor girl was still standing at the door, looking at the direction of the carriage's departure.

On the other side, after the carriage left the county seat and left the city, Richard couldn't wait to open the food box, the three layers of food boxes were full of exquisite food, and in the bottom layer, there was even a handkerchief.

"Tut, tsk, tsk, tsk." Richard picked up the handkerchief, opened it and looked at it, then looked at Li Shimin, shaking his head and making strange noises.

Li Shimin was uncomfortable, and he glanced at Richard angrily, and said, "Brother Simon, what do you want to do?" ”

"But that's not what I want to do? It's what did you do, it's only been a long time, and you stole the little girl's heart, this looks good, it is an advantage, Brother Li, do you say it. Richard smiled and handed the handkerchief to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the handkerchief and glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed, and he saw two lines of poetry written on the handkerchief - the mountains have trees and trees have branches, and the heart is happy and the king can be known.

There are trees on the mountains, and trees have branches, these are easy to know, and I like you, do you know?

Richard shook his head and sighed: "The game saved Miss Fu, and Miss Fu fell in love with the Ranger of the Jianghu because of this, tsk, what a poignant and touching love story." ”

Li Shimin blushed, I don't know if she was angry or ashamed, she received a woman's confession, she was really a big girl in a sedan chair - the first time. She glared at Richard fiercely and said, "You're big!" I thought you were greedy for the five hundred taels of silver to wait on purpose, you said, did you already know that this would happen! ”

Richard shrugged, "Blame me, you were stupid and didn't react, you see she called me a polite Brother Simon, and called you?" Brother Li, it's almost not called Brother Love, isn't this obvious enough? ”

Li Shimin's face became more and more red, and said: "But I'm not a brother at all, I'm a woman, and she's also a woman, this... Isn't that ridiculous? ”

Richard waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty is a man, but he doesn't like men too, he recruited the beautiful man Dong Xian into the palace at that time, and every morning when he woke up, he was afraid that his sleeves would be pulled back and he would cut off his sleeves with a knife, and when you become the emperor, who would dare to say anything if you recruit a woman into the palace?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at Richard helplessly, no matter what happened, this guy seemed to be able to find a reason to refute himself, and even made himself feel that what he said made sense. She shook her head and expelled the miscellaneous thoughts from her mind, and said seriously: "There is no day, just one morning." Brother Ximen, don't say these words again, I am a courtier of the Great Sui, how can I have such a rebellious idea, the combination of men and women Yin and Yang is the ethics of heaven and earth, and it cannot be violated. ”

"Okay, it's a pity that girl, the flowers are lovely, but the water has no intention." Richard pursed his lips indifferently, and secretly said in his heart whether you will violate this bullshit ethics of heaven and earth I don't know, but it is estimated that you, a great Sui courtier, will not be able to do it for long.

Richard then went back into the carriage and waited quietly in the carriage, and after a while, a white light lit up from him, and the next moment he disappeared into the carriage, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the arena.

The impassioned voice in the ring ahead came,

"Dear audience and friends, welcome to the scene of the top ten of the Jianghu Competition, today will be the last day of our top ten competition, and today, we will also determine the champion of this Jianghu Competition, let us invite our contestants and commentators!"
